Chapter 14
|
1
|
Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall
be divided in the midst of thee. |
2
|
For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to
battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled,
and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go
forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall
not be cut off from the city. |
3
|
Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those
nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. |
4
|
And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount
of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and
the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof
toward the east and toward the west, and there shall
be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall
remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. |
5
|
And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for
the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea,
ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake
in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my
God shall come, and all the saints with thee. |
6
|
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light
shall not be clear, nor dark: |
7
|
But it shall be one day which shall be known to the
LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass,
that at evening time it shall be light. |
8
|
And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall
go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former
sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer
and in winter shall it be. |
9
|
And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that
day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. |
10
|
All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to
Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up,
and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto
the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and
from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses. |
11
|
And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more
utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. |
12
|
And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will
smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem;
Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon
their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their
holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. |
13
|
And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great
tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall
lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and
his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour. |
14
|
And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth
of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together,
gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance. |
15
|
And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule,
of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that
shall be in these tents, as this plague. |
16
|
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left
of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall
even go up from year to year to worship the King, the
LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. |
17
|
And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all
the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the
King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. |
18
|
And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not,
that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith
the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep
the feast of tabernacles. |
19
|
This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment
of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of
tabernacles. |
20
|
In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses,
HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD's house
shall be like the bowls before the altar. |
21
|
Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness
unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall
come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that
day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house
of the LORD of hosts. |
